Hey little darlingTheres something that you should knowThis things gonna hound every soulThis thing they wont let us goGonna break us down to nothingGonna eat us from the inside outHey little darlingI dont want you to feeling the fallout

Ah when the cancer finally took himI was watching the trucks pull inMe and your daddy we had a jobUnder the ground mining uraniumSome things your daddy leaves youSome things he dontSome things are gonna be here anyhowAnd some things just wontOne thing I want you to understandIs you aint gotta be no mining manI curse the day that I went downAnd I pulled that shit out of the ground

Now we were living over in nevadaThats where your people come fromYour grandma would take me and your daddyOn down to the gunnery rangeWe sit and watch the bombs blowUntil the sun goes downAll those colors running like the painted desertAnd you get to see it now

Them government boys have something so damn secretThey had to hide it in the desert sandOut there the skies so bigAnd there aint no mistaking itWhose got the winning hand

AhAh ah ah ah
